Hello, I have a perl script that should work as follows:
* check some parameters * drop privileges ( $> = ...; $) = ...;) * fork some other programs Now when I run this script and "ps auwx" thereafter, I see that the programs I forked are running under the user id that I specified in the script. When I run 'top' on the same machine, these programs appear to be running as root. What gives? The system is an OpenBSD 4.5/amd64 machine. -- Kind regards, --Toni++
